My experience in going from C to C++ was different: if you’re not converting everything from mallocs with custom addressing systems to the collections framework, you’re not living.

When I want to see a broken mod, I just surf over to Reddit.
This is what I call a ‘pro grammer move.’
sccs, rcs, cvs… after that it’s a blur of new systems every year or two
I hope this is cubic meters…
Yowch, Django was 20 years ago? That hurts.
Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
Nice seeing Mathematica and Lisp mentioned. I feel like Marvin the Martian after reading.

I’d go PostScript, since it’s Turing-complete.
Bad variable names and then awful “temporary” log lines… I feel attacked this morning. ;)
I have never had any patience with variable names when I realize I have to do a 3-way swap: c=a, a=b, b=c. I’m sure there’s 40 years of goddamit=a and fml=a in the wake I’ve left behind me.
In related news, Mrs. Cleaver is looking particularly lovely today.
100% agree. Emacs macros take much more space.
If I’m thinking of the same device, the one I used in Sweden and Norway, it’s fantastic. It’s in the shower itself, so you don’t have to contend with 30m of cold pipes between a less effective water heater and the nozzle.
